is Fives ship Umbaran starfighter good?

Didn't read so if already said, ok.

Fives ship is like the toon. Best jaw in the galaxy, and when maul makes him a counter puncher, it is a bad situation when facing him.

Fives umbaran nuclear missle pods are just that... if you can TL 4-5 enemies you can wipe the board of enemy ships...period

Fives early on is a liability until you can get his ship where it isnt giving a turn away every time it attacks. That being said, at top level and bringing it in as a support can be a huge game changer and especially in tandem with ashoka being in starter squad as she can remove a taunt and let you get several target locks up on other ships so when fives comes in he can just nuke the field. As far as one being explicitly superior over the other its situational. Without a target lock being up fives iseems to me to be mediocre unless he is being used as a meatshield by plo, maul, or mace to soak up damage.

I run a full Republic fleet. all 7 ships. I hold rank so much better if Ahsoka is the one on backup, it is ridiculous.

She's way too squishy to leave in my starting fleet. Fives, Plo Koon, Rex, CS, and JC is a beasty defense. Rotating taunts. Protection regen from 2 ships. Protection restoration from 2 ships and the command ship. Bonus protection from 2 ships. Extra tenacity from 2 sources, Tm gain from 2 ships. Damage immunity. Defense up, Speed up, offense down, defense down, tm removal, target lock aoe from 2 sources.

Ahsoka's really the weak link in the Republic Fleet. I have been top 10 in my shard for a month or more, 1st for most of it. I did this while not running a broken Biggs, and I was the only person in my top 50 doing so.
